Cleaning house

The boys helped me clean house Wednesday. I vacuumed while they mopped. They really did a fantastic job. It took the floors about 4 hours to dry, I thought I might need a shop vac to get up so much water! They loved it.

Quick post

Just sitting here thinking what I want to post, and I just want to say a big "thank you" to the main man in my life - Jesus. I have been so blessed. Much more than I deserve. Mostly to know that I have the opportunity spend eternity with these people that I love so much. I am overflowing with love for my children and my husband, and my extended family. There is no happiness like knowing the ones you love will be with you in heaven.

Nate and Henry have this fascination with smoking. They pretend they are smoking cigarettes with straws and french fries. If we see someone smoking, they stare in complete awe, I see it in their eyes how they are glamorizing smoking. Tonight, laying down, I had a long talk with Nate about the dangers of smoking, what it means to be addicted, and about what your lungs look like after you've smoked for years. I could tell that I was finally getting through to him. He turned to me and said, "Mommy, I not like smoking cigarettes, I just like smoking cigars."

Mother's Day

What a great Mother's Day it's been! I have spent the day with Bryan and the boys and we've had a great time. We haven't done anything that different than any other Sunday and I guess that's what I'm thankful for. That every Sunday is spent with my family just hanging out, going to church and eating. I am so glad that Bryan enjoys spending what little free time he has right now with us. Nate is crazy about Bryan right now. In fact, I think he's a little disappointed when he knows he's stuck with me all day. Bryan (and that is what Nate calls him, not Dad) is the coolest in Nate's opinion. And I do hope that they grow up to be just like their Dad one day.

Girlie Girl

I'm a girlie girl. I love makeup, to talk on the phone, I don't like fishing or bugs. I don't really like any sports and I love to shop. When I found out I was pregnant with Nate, I wanted him to be a girl. When I found out I was pregnant with Henry, I really wanted him to be a girl. Obviously, I got 2 boys. Now, I see how "way beyond anything I could plan," God's plan is. I have 3 amazing boys/men in my life (this includes Bryan). I couldn't be happier. God knew just what He was doing when he gave me these people. Because, in the end, they are all I can take with me. And, I wouldn't want anything to be any different.
